I will develop in next weeks a couple of functions which cover the concept (as far as I understand it and as far as I am capable in LISP). First on my list is to have the functionality to query the fundamental Lydian Parent Scale for a given underlying chord. Example: cmaj -> c lydian, amin -> c lydian (as well), g7 -> f lydian, dmin7 -> f lydian, fsmin7 -> a lydian. This should be (theoretically) straight forward with PCS and a bit set operations. Once I have something I will share it with musical examples.

Hi folks, Opusmodus is really amazing for music production. Here’s a short orchestral test I’ve made today, the rendering is Sibelius and NotePerformer. NewOrchestralAlgoTest1NP.mp3

I never explore this interesting concept but as a quick first idea, you can use gen-surround function to "navigate" into this pitch set as a kind of master harmonic track for a composition.

As non-professional hobby musician, who is interested in Jazz, I am currently looking into Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization, (LCCOTO) by George Russell, which as many of you will already know had a inpiring impact on Modal Jazz. According to my understanding it‘s especially useful for conceptualizing on a continuous metric-scale (ingoing to outgoing) the gravity towards the tonic a melodic improvisation or composition over is expected to have. If I am not mistaken this metric-scale will be usefull to guide if a line is percieved more consonant or dissonant, from normal diatonic up to a 12-tone feeling. If I get it right OM out of the box has not yet specialized functions for this concept. Am I right ? Here‘s my simple idea: Say we want in a jazz like approach a melodic line over a given C tonic (major) chord. The C Lydian chromatic scale consists of following notes: C, G D, A, E, B, Fs, Gs, Eb, Bb, F, Db. Each note may be assigned with increasing gravity level on a metric-scale from 1 to 12. When composing in OM we may utilize the mapping to allow for values limited to say 1-5 (C pentamajor) or 1-7 (C Lydian) or choose subsets of 1-12 which allow to have elements beyond level 7. I would be very surprised if this idea has not yet been explored among the experts in this forum. Thanks for your insights. Cliff

Thank you

All your workspce folders (scores) must be pleaced in the Workspace directory.

I would like to transfer files from an existing workspace to a new empty one , when i do it by copying the files from the existing workspace to the new empty one it doesn't work , while the file are present in the new workspace folder , the files doesn't show up in the left column when i open the workspace file . Could you please let me know how to proceed Thank you Patrick Mimran

Thank you David. No, it is a plugin from Orchestral Tools : Tallinn

Are those real voices? It's very beautiful, well done!

Hi folks, Here’s a work in progress for ensemble. Best S. Score214_V1_06-6603-3511.mp3

wow. THANK YOU.

Hello, Υou can export a MIDI file by selecting 'Evaluate Score' in the MIDI player (Alt+Ctrl+2). Nikos

re: MIDI export, as far as I can see that's not true. screenshot attached.

It was hard to communicate as we can see from the post and images. As for MIDI - same thing. You can save the score to midi file from the grid menu.

there. that wasn't so hard to communicate was it? and as for MIDI export?

This is the grid menu, on the left, the square icon. It is like a navigator, just for the current panel.

First of all, your response is rude. Is this the kind of belittling customer support that YOU would like to receive? Screenshot attached. Further ... suggesting that a customer take lessons in order to compensate for lack of documentation is poor form. I'm giving you this screenshot. Tell me what is wrong with my observations.

You are the only user who cannot figure out how to import MusicXML into OMN or export an Opusmodus score to MusicXML. The import and export options can be found in the Notation Grid menu, as shown in the images above. As I mentioned before, I recommend taking a lesson with Stephane to learn how to do it.

I upgraded to this version for this promised functionality only. I'd like an honest answer, as there seems to be no support to your attestations. I have searched exhaustively. So has AI on my behalf, including OpusModus ChatGTP. There is nothing that supports this claim. In the spirit of what most would call support, I'd welcome an answer, timely or not at this point.

It is essential to understand how a loop works in our tasks, as it is also the most elegant macro for performing iterations.

Hi Achim, here's a possible solution: (setf beethoven-ode '(q e4 e4 f4 g4 g4 f4 e4 d4 c4 c4 d4 e4 q. e4 e d4 h d4)) (gen-process '(quantum beethoven-ode :fraction a :seed 123) (list (gen-transition 0 0.1 8 1)))

Does anybody have an idea, how to rewrite the loop construction below with OM functions? (setf beethoven-ode '(q e4 e4 f4 g4 g4 f4 e4 d4 c4 c4 d4 e4 q. e4 e d4 h d4)) (loop for j in (gen-transition 0 0.1 8 1) collect (quantum beethoven-ode :fraction j :seed 123)) Thanks for help. Achim

the function 'save as' is grayed out in the Notation Viewer. That is what i have been trying to convey, and why I'm just trying to ask the question: "how do I export either a MusicXML file, or a MIDI file (presumably both are to be initiated from the Notation Viewer)???

To export score to Musixml simply use Save As...

I have just upgraded to v4.0, based on the comments I've received, stating that export of MusicXML and MIDI are available. I am running OpusModus 4.0 in Windows 11. I need to export both MusicXML and MIDI from a score. In the macOS version, there is File → Export → MusicXML / MIDI in the Notation window. In the Windows version, those menu items do not appear. Question: What is the correct method for exporting MusicXML and MIDI in the Windows build of v4? (Is there a function call, command, toolbar button, or preference setting I should use?) I have already compiled a score and displayed it in the Notation panel. However, in the Windows version of v4 there is no Save As / Export option in the Notation panel menu, even though the manual shows one. Can you please confirm whether MusicXML export is currently implemented in the Windows version, or is it only available on macOS at this time? Thank you.
